Henry Threadgill — Listen Ship (Pi)

Listen Ship advances and braids several strands of inquiry that Henry Threadgill’s been tugging at for quite some time. The album-length piece is scored for an ensemble of like instruments, something he’s been doing since the Carter administration. In this case the line-up is six acoustic guitars (including one soprano and two bass instruments) and two grand pianos. Once more, Threadgill has removed his own playing from the mix. While I can vouch for his intact chops as recently as fall 2023, when I saw him plays his ass off as his Zooid combo joined forces with Silke Ebehard’s Potsa Lotsa XL big band,  it’s apparent from recent projects that his heart lies more with composing than playing. Perhaps most significantly, it engages new players to operate within the unique intervallic improvisational language that Threadgill pioneered with Zooid.

This last point will impose a potential frustration upon people who decide what records they’ll buy by who is playing on them. For while there are some pretty distinctive instrumentalists (the band includes Bill Frisell, Brandon Ross, Gregg Belisle-Chi, Miles Okazaki, Jerome Harris, and Stomu Takeishi on guitars, and Maya Keren and Rahul Carlberg on pianos), no one is here to put his own imprint on the music. They all work within Threadgill’s system, which asks players to listen to each other and improvise within a framework of specified intervals. The rules of the game shape how it is played, and the ways that the music breaks down into subsets of players who work towards moments of intricate counterpoint and cleanly articulated convergence will be very familiar to anyone who’s being following Zooid throughout this century. The guitarists’ spic and span tones also conform to systemic requirements.

So, don’t waste your time trying to figure whether that’s Frisell or Okazaki you’re hearing. What you’re really hearing are Threadgill’s acoustic guitarists, conducted by Threadgill. And, to reference once more that concert I saw in 2023, Threadgill is a very particular sort of conductor. The guy moves with a vigor that belies his eight decades on earth, and his physical guidance of eight attentive souls is the brain, breath, and blood that turns this one-of-a-kind rulebook into a living sonic organism.

When I first heard about Jerome Harris' exhibit "As, Not For: Dethroning Our Absolutes," I knew I had to interview him for the podcast. I was thrilled to hear him speak at this year's Black in Design Conference back in October, and this conversation follows directly after that event.

Jerome does it all — he's a graphic designer, an educator, a writer, a curator, a DJ, and even a choreographer! We touched on all those aspects in this interview, starting off with talking about his current work at Housing Works. From there, we discussed the trajectory of Black graphic design, and how that guided him through his studies at Temple and Yale and inspired his exhibit. Jerome also shares some of his current influences, and we step into the future a bit and look at what Jerome would want to work on in 2025.

Keep an eye out for Jerome — his perspective and candor are a refreshing antidote to current design discourse, and I think we'll see a lot more from him soon!
